Yes, image quality isn’t the best, but for sharing on the web you can’t complain. It has a metal body, available in a variety of colours and battery life is fairly respectable.”Rating:

Very nice camera. Very good built. Pictures of good quality but not more than that. Video rather good but with a lot of wind noise. That really is a shame.
Size of video only 1280×720. For important pictures or video use another camera. But still worth buying !
